See description above.
I simply said that I bought the amp Sadgob who posted the first review this amp.
The preamp does not apparently included the original tubes, but a 12Ax General Electric (V1), a Ec803s JJ (V2), and a Tung Sol (V3).
Knowing that the lamp of the preamp combinations are:
Clean: V1A -> V3A
+ Clean Boost: V1A -> V1B -> V3A
Overdrive: V1A -> V2A -> V2B -> V3B
Overdrive + Boost: V1A -> V2A -> V2B -> V3B (the same but with more gain)

UTILIZATION
Good for config: it's a tube amp, you plug, you put all the buttons out of ten, you light, you die.
Easily obtained a good sound, just have to turn it on.
The manual is clear, but it lacks the installation of tubes in order to hack. Finally I just said this to solve the problem above ...
SOUNDS
I use it to jazz, rock, blues, funk, and métaaaaaaaaaal.
I played it with an Ibanez S prestige and an old Aria Pro 2 which has a Tone Zone.
If I do not use the microphone on the Tone Zone Aria, the Star-T-Rack do him no mercy: it is a guitar m. .. So, it sounds like the m. ..
on the other hand with the Ibanez, I took a big blow!
The clean channel is amazing, very light, very fine, highly crystalline. Some say very fenderien ... Well be! Indeed, for the chord, the funk and casseroles Zulas zarpèges with a tad of time, great!
When you press the boost of that channel, the sound becomes more rounded, there is a little more bass, it becomes very soft as her (And I like it!). It also becomes slightly crunchy, like a Roland JC120 with a little gain. So with the boost, you fall more in jazz / blues. And we're really not disappointed! (At this stage there, it's been 6 hours non stop as you try all the combinations of sounds clear. It is time to pause before attacking ...
... the distos.
For distos, the settings of "Depth" and class of amplifiers (A / AB) will have a major influence!
Start by putting the amp in class A, with the "depth" halfway (5 / 10).
In simple distortion, it is in a register of saturation that sound very 70's. From Page to Jimy Hendrix through Deep Purple, there's no mass gain is very round and very hot. Very "rock n 'roll baby !!!". Then pressing the boost, it is more gain and sustain. In both cases, the loadings are very rich in harmonics and not gentle on the ears. The amp responds perfectly to your attacks.
Now if you switch the amp in AB, its going to take your 20 years of age, and aged in stainless steel barrels please. This gives a more hard rock 90's. You find yourself playing a good old Ugly Kid Joe, Metallica or other FaithNoMoreries. So modern and more aggressive too! The shredder is in you will remember his good old plans "Passion and Welfare" by saying: "God but it's the same sound as VAI!"
At this stage there, fan of metal, a little barbaric, there is in me (And may be you who read me ...) is a little disappointed: "Dla potato! Damn! Do More potato! What this amp sissy!? ". Good! Ben you will have your potato kid: just push the button on 9-10 Depth, to engage the boost, to see a bit of EQ ... And blam! The long-awaited big sound is there! Whew!
Well, it's not the High-Gain: fans of hardcore and deathmetal others will fall back on something else. But for the ProgMétal or fusion to RATM, I think it does pretty well. I also think that the tubes mentioned above are not for nothing!
I add that I would appear to be a technology "correct". Mr Brunetti seemed to say that the output of preamp tube is adjusted by transistors, which balances the sound by adding bass / midrange. In fact the level, I think we have the equivalent of a correct Mesa home with a Fender clean channel it.
Finally, if you really do not have enough gain, but you love this amp too, you can return the unit to Marco Brunetti by telling them you want more gain. You will be happy ... But I do not know how much it will cost you on the other hand ...
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 15 days. I wanted to make a comparison with the Laney TT50H which I still have. I turned on the Laney, I played 5 minutes, the time to tell me that the distortion is still not bad. Then I switched the channel clear, and I thought: "Oh yeah, no, there it is wrong and 'possib' CO". So I turned off and resumed Brunetti ...
It lacks two things about this amp: output "Line" or something like that, because when the "send" is used, there's no way to refer to a tuner for example.
The head is stereo, it would have been nice to turn on / off independently on each side ... To avoid a burn out output transformer if you want to play on an HP mono. That said apparently turning down the volume on the side not used to 0 it works as well.
€ 1200 to OCCAZ ... A little more than the price of an entry-level head Laney or Marshall ... Except for that price is an amplifier with a high-end Look Mazerati you!
I would do well on this choice, the ampl IEST so versatile that it will make the dishes even if you program it via USB. Incidentally he also radiator and fan, tip top when you're on stage and you want to effect "hair in the wind Accapulco" ... Vai a bit like what ...
